Home decor boom
Interior decoration is nowadays an increasingly integral part of fashion. Decorating your home has always been a popular activity, but the actual full-fledged boom only started at the turn of the millennium, ushered in by the upheaval taking place in the world. The home became something of a sanctuary against a corrupt world. Luxury kitchen solutions all of a sudden started being bought by the average consumer as well. Instead of eating out, people started organising get-togethers in their homes, inviting friends over to enjoy themselves. Investment in the home became a megatrend.
Decor magazines and television shows quickly grabbed its coattails. A home was born that could serve as a stage both to entertain friends and provide experiences for them.
In this context, interior decoration became the dramatic art that friends came over to admire and evaluate.
The home is a sort of calling card, but it has to look and feel like its inhabitants. You can spend decades in the same home, so its decor has to be adjustable in accordance with your life situation. Decorating, in accordance with the instructions from interior decoration magazines and experts, has thus given way to fashion-driven interior design. You must ask yourself which colour suits you, which kind of sofa is appropriate, which colour looks best on the kitchen walls, and which material is preferred for the floor.
